Issa Rae is officially a married woman. This weekend, the Insecure star got married to her longtime boyfriend Louis Diame in a secret celebration in France. She broke the news with some stunning photos on Instagram.

“A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawang dress,” joked the superstar actress in her caption. “B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband. 

Big thanks to @whiteedenweddings for being so gracious and accommodating and making this feel so real and special.”

Issa and Louis have been together for years, but they’ve kept their relationship out of the public eye. Issa rarely posts about him, so this was the first time that many of her followers were introduced to her new husband. He was outfitted in a red Dolce & Gabbana suit.

Many of Issa’s friends in the entertainment industry, including La La Anthony, Gabrielle Union, Matthew A. Cherry, Karrueche Tran, Niecy Nash, Joseline Hernandez, Jay Ellis, and more, have wished her congratulations in her comments, hyping her up in her big moment.

Issa Rae has been having yet another outstanding year, unveiling her latest collaboration with Converse and getting ready for the premiere of the final season of Insecure. Congrats to the icon on getting married!

Ben Simmons has been slandered quite a bit over the past few months and it is all thanks to his performances in the playoffs. While Joel Embiid was carrying the Philadelphia 76ers on his back, Simmons could be found putting up anemic numbers that had fans wondering where the superstar player went wrong. With a lack of confidence and shooting ability plaguing his career, there are those who believe Simmons needs some new scenery if he wants to go back to his old ways.

While the Sixers originally said they wanted to ride things out with Simmons, it appears as though various teams are trying to make a play for the star player. The Sixers have been entertaining numerous offers and now, it seems like a trade could be imminent, especially with this latest development.

According to Jake Fischer from Bleacher Report, Simmons has pretty well ghosted the team and won’t return the Sixers’ phone calls. At this point, the Sixers don’t know what to do, and a trade could be the only option available.

Per Fischer:

“I’m not gonna write this in the story, but I’ll tell this to you guys and you guys can do what you want with it. They haven’t been able to really even get in touch with Ben since the season ended. Like, there was an intent to have a workout plan or whatever — like in any offseason…It just doesn’t sound like there’s ever been movement to come together on the same page to do that, and it hasn’t really worked this summer either.”

This is bad news for the Sixers, although if they really want to get rid of Simmons, then it could be a blessing in disguise. As of today, teams such as the Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, and Toronto Raptors are all showing interest in the star.

We’re already over the year’s halfway point, and discussion surrounding the album of the year has already begun to heat up. We’ve already seen several strong contenders emerge, with strong releases from J. Cole, Tyler, The Creator, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, Polo G, Lloyd Banks, and many more. 

Now, Moneybagg Yo has offered up his own assessment of the year thus far, taking to Twitter to highlight the two biggest albums of the year. Like any good rapper, he made sure to stand proudly behind his work, the acclaimed A Gangsta’s Pain.

Released in April, the project features guest appearances from Polo G, Future, Lil Durk, Jhené Aiko, and more. In fact, a report from earlier this month confirmed that of all the albums released in 2021, Moneybagg Yo’s Gangsta’s Pain is the highest-selling rap album.

He also threw his support behind Pooh Shiesty’s Shiesty Season, which spawned the hard-hitting anthem “Back In Blood.” Though Pooh Shiesty currently sits incarcerated, the momentum of “Back In Blood” propelled the 1017 signee to new career heights, bringing no shortage of new eyes onto his studio debut. Clearly, Shiesty Season left an impression on Moneybagg Yo, who made sure to give his fellow Memphis representative a shout-out on Twitter.

“Can’t believe me & @pooh_shiesty made the 2 biggest albums this year,” he reflects. “#FreeDetMan #Memphis.” While that’s not to say he means the best, it’s certainly implied — do you think Moneybagg Yo’s confident assessment has merit?

Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the entire NBA and he’s only three seasons in. Of course, Doncic still has a long way to go before he can be declared the best player in the league, and he still has a lot to prove when it comes to the postseason. Despite this, fans are aware of just how special Luka is, and on the international stage, Doncic is proving himself to be an elite-level performer. After all, he has made it clear that he’d rather win Olympic Gold than an NBA title.

Doncic’s Slovenia is playing men’s basketball in the Olympics for the very first time, and in their first game against Argentina, Luka led them to a massive 118-110 victory. Argentina is one of the favorites in this tournament and Slovenia was going to prove to be a tough test especially since Doncic is the only star player on the Slovenia roster.

In the end, Doncic rose to the occasion in epic fashion as he scored an unbelievable 48 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists in his Olympics debut. With the win, Slovenia is now looking like real contenders for a medal, and if Luka is able to rise to this occasion every single game, then we could be in for one of the greatest individual runs in Olympic basketball history.
